Razzak - You are always very meticulous in predefining and clearing variables,
Doug, I was taught the correct way by the father of R:BASE, who is still the "Main Man" in my life, and most importantly still leads R:DreamTeam, Wayne Erickson.
but I noticed that you didn't predefine the indicator variables for the FETCH statements.
Technically, the INDICATOR variable data type is always an INTEGER, and is handled by the R:BASE engine. A 0 is returned if a value was retrieved.
Apparently they don't need to be predefined, but might that practice come to bite us in future upgrades?
No. You don't need to worry about pre-defining the indicator variables and the data type.
Thanks much,
Always a pleasure! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
